CONCEPTS OF ALTERED HEALTH STATES 10TH EDITION BY
TOMMIE L. NORRIS (AUTHOR)

,Porth’s .Pathophysiology .10th .Edition .Norris .Test .Bank

1. At .an .international .nursing .conference, .many .discussions .and .breakout .sessions
.focused.on .the .World .Health .Organization .(WHO) .views .on .health. .Of .the .following
.comments.made .by .nurses .during .a .discussion .session, .which .statements .would .be
.considered .a .good .representation .of .the .WHO .definition? .Select .all .that .apply.
A) Interests .in .keeping .the .elderly .population .engaged .in .such .activities .as
.book.reviews .and .word .games .during .social .time
B) Increase .in .the .number .of .chair .aerobics .classes .provided .in .the .skilled
.care.facilities
C) Interventions .geared .toward .keeping .the .elderly .population .diagnosed .with
.diabetes .mellitus .under .tight .blood .glucose .control .by .providing .in-home
.cooking.classes
D) Providing .transportation .for .renal .dialysis .patients .to .and .from .their
.hemodialysis.sessions
E) Providing .handwashing .teaching .sessions .to .a .group .of .young
.children.Ans: .A, .B, .C, . E
Feedback:
The .WHO .definition .of .health .is .defined .as .―a .state .of .complete .physical, .mental,
.and .social .well-being .and .not .merely .the .absence .of .disease .and .infirmity.‖
.Engaging .in .book .reviews .facilitates .mental .and .social .well-being; .chair .aerobics
.helps .facilitate .physical .well-being; .and .assisting .with .tight .control .of .diabetes .helps
.with .facilitating .physical .well-being .even .though .the .person .has .a .chronic .disease.
.Handwashing .is .vital.in .the .prevention .of .disease .and .spread .of .germs.


2. A .community .health .nurse .is .teaching .a .group .of .recent .graduates .about .the .large
.variety .of .factors .that .influence .an .individual's .health .or .lack .thereof. .The .nurse
.is .referring .to .the .Healthy .People .2020 .report .from .the .U.S. .Department .of
.Health .and.Human .Services .as .a .teaching .example. .Of .the .following .aspects
.discussed, .which .would .be .considered .a .determinant .of .health .that .is .outside .the
.focus .of .this .report?
A) The .client .has .a .diverse .background .by .being .of .Asian .and .Native .American
.descent .and .practices .various .alternative .therapies .to .minimize .effects .of
.stress.
B) The .client .has .a .family .history .of .cardiovascular .disease .related .to
.hypercholesterolemia .and .remains .noncompliant . with .the .treatment
.regime.
C) The .client .has .a .good .career .with .exceptional .preventative .health .care .benefits.
D) The .client .lives .in .an .affluent, .clean, .suburban .community .with .access .to
.many.health .care .facilities.
Ans: .B
Feedback:
In .Healthy .People .2020, .the .focus .is .to .promote .good .health .to .all .(such .as .using
.alternative .therapies .to .minimize .effects .of .stress); .achieving .health .equity .and
.promoting .health .for .all .(which .includes .having .good .health .care .benefits); .and
.promoting .good .health .(which .includes .living .in .a .clean .community .with .good
.access .to.health .care). .A .client's .noncompliance .with .treatments .to .control .high
.cholesterol .levels.within .the .presence .of .a .family .history .of .CV .disease .does .not .meet
.the .―attaining .lives .free .of .preventable .disease .and .premature .death‖ .determinant.

,3. A .physician .is .providing .care .for .a .number .of .patients .on .a .medical .unit .of .a .large,
.university .hospital. .The .physician .is .discussing .with .a .colleague .the .differentiation
.between .diseases .that .are .caused .by .abnormal .molecules .and .diseases .that .cause
.disease..Which .of .the .following .patients .most .clearly .demonstrates .the .consequences
.of .molecules .that .cause .disease?
A) A .31-year-old .woman .with .sickle .cell .anemia .who .is .receiving .a .transfusion
.of.packed .red .blood .cells
B) A .91-year-old .woman .who .has .experienced .an .ischemic .stroke .resulting
.from.familial .hypercholesterolemia
C) A .19-year-old .man .with .exacerbation .of .his .cystic .fibrosis .requiring
.oxygen.therapy .and .chest .physiotherapy
D) A .30-year-old .homeless .man .who .has .Pneumocystis .carinii .pneumonia .(PCP)
.and.is .HIV .positive.
Ans: .D
Feedback:
PCP .is .an .example .of .the .effect .of .a .molecule .that .directly .contributes .to .disease.
.Sickle.cell .anemia, .familial .hypercholesterolemia, .and .cystic .fibrosis .are .all .examples
.of .the .effects .of .abnormal .molecules.

.the.increasing .ammonia .levels .that .accompany .liver .disease. .Bacteria, .poisons, .and
.traumatic .injuries .are .examples .of .etiologic .factors.

, 5. A .new .myocardial .infarction .patient .requiring .angioplasty .and .stent .placement .has
.arrived .to .his .first .cardiac .rehabilitation .appointment. .In .this .first .session, .a .review
.of .the .pathogenesis .of .coronary .artery .disease .is .addressed. .Which .statement .by .the
.patient.verifies .to .the .nurse .that .he .has .understood .the .nurse's .teachings .about

.made .it.easy .to .form .fatty .streaks, .which .lead .to .my .clogged .artery.‖

.veins .causing .a .clot .that .stops .blood .flow .to .the .muscle, .and .I .will .have .a
.heart .attack.‖
Ans: .C
Feedback:
The .true .etiology/cause .of .coronary .artery .disease .(CAD) .is .unknown; .however, .the
.pathogenesis .of .the .disorder .relates .to .the .progression .of .the .inflammatory .process
.from.a .fatty .streak .to .the .occlusive .vessel .lesion .seen .in .people .with .coronary .artery
.disease. .Risk .factors .for .CAD .revolve .around .cigarette .smoking, .diet .high .in .fat, .and
.lack .of .exercise.
